Setting the Tuning Curve (Stretched Tuning)
Pianos are generally tuned so that the low range is flatter and the high range
is sharper than equal tempered pitches. This method of tuning is unique to
the piano, and is known as “stretched tuning.”
A graph that shows the changes in pitch of actual tuning compared with the
changes in equal temperament pitch is called a tuning curve.
Changing the tuning curve produces subtle variations in the reverberations
of the chords you play.
